North of Despair

North of Despair
Tony Kamel

Chorus
I’m coming home with a little bit of money
It ain’t much, but it’ll keep me there
And we’ll just float right here in the middle
South of rich, and north of despair

Verse 1
I am but a simple man, living in this future
Maxed out at a slower speed than most
My fast times have up and gone
Now I simply truck along my own road, my own way
Steady as she goes
And yes it’s true, that I’m a young man
But I’m too damn old to change my plan
So I’ll keep it down a notch, or two, or three
But I’ve got room for one more
And down the line, three or four
So long as you don’t ever tire of me

Chorus
I’m coming home with a little bit of money
It ain’t much, but it’ll keep me there
And we’ll just float right here in the middle
South of rich, and north of despair
